removed side grill vents and painted windshield fluid reservoir black

hey everyone. just wanted to show what i did while i wait for my headlights to come back.







i took the side grill vents out and it looked kinda funny since one side had nothing and the other side had the windshield wiper fluid reservoir (which was white). i took the whole reservoir out and painted it black. it came out looking pretty good IMHO.

I like that you went to the extra work to make it right. Shows that you're detail oriented. Very clean.

OK, am I the only one confused? The and headlights are off being painted. Why did you remove the grille and the lower side inserts? Are you going to leave them out?

Dude, I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but that is going to look like ass with them off. Paint them black, or do something besides just leaving a hole in your bumper on each side.

I painted mine BO along with the center lower grille and I think it looks much better than before.
